As of my last update in January 2022, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) considers slowing of brain atrophy as a potential indicator of a drug's effectiveness against Alzheimer's disease, but it is not the sole criterion. When evaluating a drug for Alzheimer's treatment, the EMA assesses a range of factors including clinical outcomes, biomarker data, safety profile, and overall benefit-risk balance.

Slowing of brain atrophy can be an important biomarker in clinical trials, as it may indicate that the drug is affecting the underlying disease process. However, the ultimate goal is to demonstrate that the drug improves clinical outcomes such as cognition, function, or quality of life in patients with Alzheimer's.

The EMA evaluates all available data from clinical trials to determine whether a drug provides meaningful benefits to patients with Alzheimer's while considering the potential risks. If the evidence supports the drug's efficacy and safety, it may receive marketing authorization for use in treating Alzheimer's disease in the European Union.
